...my new KitchenAid mixer and Gormet Today cookbook! Look how "Happy" they look next to each other in my kitchen along side my rosmary and basil plants.

I ran across "Tabletop Tuesday", hosted by Marty from A Stroll Thru Life and figured this post would be perfect for the party. There are so many beautiful tabletops, vignettes, and displays I can't wait until I move into my new place and get unpacked so I can add to the list.

I have been eying the Candy Apple Red 90th Anniversary Edition, but Sam's Club had a deal I just could not pass up. This is was a larger mixer with more power at a lower cost! My biggest delima was deciding on a color...red, black or chrome. As you can see I decided with the chrome. And much to my delight, look what was waiting for me when I got home, my Gourmet Today cookbook I ordered last week!

I'm back! I originally had my blog here at Blogger, but moved to Wordpress. I don't have anything against WP, but I think Blogger has a few more "options" and may just be a little more user friendly for me. So "I'm BACK!!!"

GOING GREEN

Hymn to a Good Wife

A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing.

She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises. She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.

She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking. She's quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor. She doesn't worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.

She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops. Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.

When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly. She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: "Many women have done wonderful things, but you've outclassed them all!"

Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-GOD. Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!
